Body Work and Paint Estimate

Just food for thought. Iv been painting cars for many years & its expensive. You could get between 1,500 to 2,500 bucks just wrapped up in the paint material. Soon here I will be painting a duster for a family member. For 1 gallon of sassy grass green base coat was $900. Just the base. I always cut & buff my paint jobs. Unless the costumer wants that orange peel look. I wet sand & buff a car for no less than $800. So I would say depending on the amount of body work $6,000 to $8,000 doesn't sound to high.

No cut and buff here because we use Sikkens clear. Man does this stuff lay down. NOT CHEAP AT ALL. The Duster in my avatar is Sikkens. Look at the gloss on that 20 year old paintjob and it has ALWAYS been outside. No wax on it ever!
